According to superstitions, the main thing is not to bring new furniture on a Friday, and in general avoid days when you're in a bad mood yourself, because energy matters more.
A waxing moon is considered a lucky time, and people usually recommend bringing large furniture on Thursday. But honestly, I believe more that a thing settles in better when you bought it with pleasure and greet it with joy.
In practice, the main thing is when you're ready yourself and when you actually need the thing. All these signs about the moon, days of the week - they mostly work because a person is hoping for good luck and then notices only the good moments. If you bring new furniture or make a big purchase when you're in a good mood and everything's calm in the house - that really does give you a feeling of good luck, but not because the moon is waxing.
There's one real pitfall that people often miss: if you bring something when there's conflict in the family, arguments or everyone's in a bad mood - that really will be "unlucky." Not because of the signs, but simply because the new thing gets associated with negativity. That's how memory works. So if you have the choice - wait for a calm moment when everyone's happy.
If you like these signs - pick a waxing moon just as a reason to put off the purchase for a lucky day, it at least adds some responsibility to it. But don't get obsessed. Just bring the thing when it's ready and you're ready - and everything will be fine.
I'm not really that into superstitions either, to be honest. But if you take it seriously, according to old beliefs you're supposed to bring new things home during a waxing moon, and big stuff like furniture supposedly does better on Thursday or Friday, when those days are considered lucky. Though in practice I just grab it whenever I buy it and whenever it's convenient, and everything's fine :)
I'm not really hung up on superstitions either, to be honest. But when you travel a lot (and I drive around Russia pretty often), you notice that people put a lot of stock in little things - like not bringing stuff into the house on a Friday or picking days when the moon is waxing.
When I buy something for the house or grab stuff for a road trip, I just look at when I've got the time and opportunity, rather than consulting some calendar.
Though maybe that's why I've got good luck when I travel :)
